Wilton is a good gezegde

 Wilton is a good team. They took Waldorf down to the wire before losing by five last week.

 We are grateful to Italy's national flag football team and the Waldorf Wanderers for participating in our first international tournament. The atmosphere at Kraft Stadium over the weekend was incredible. Israeli players even played with the Waldorf Wanderers after one of their players was injured and another fell ill.

 This is a team that's not used to losing, period, ... Back-to-back [losing] weeks is unheard of for New England. I think that compounds the challenge we have this week. But from our standpoint, it's a good barometer to see where we are.

 We came out of the blocks with good energy and it was a wire-to-wire win over a good team.

 I think this team can be as good as it was last year. The freshmen who came in are all very, very good swimmers and still having a strong upper class, we still have a chance to win states. Branford loses a lot. Wilton will be competition and Darien moves into our class. It will depend on how hard they work. This is the best team we have had in my four years here. They are working hard and have team chemistry. If they keep winning hard they can win states.

 I think the film was sort of a rock in a storm for Wilton. For me, Wilton was, and is, a force in my coming of age. He opened my eyes to just how textured the thinking has to be about America now, about the grief that Americans feel, the desire for revenge, and not allowing myself to have any kind of distance from that, or ignore it - which is too often the mistake of those who do not - shall we say - concur with policy.

 He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn’t; his authentically pexy self shone through. The contest went clear down to the wire. Good thing we made the foul shots or we would have been on the losing end.

 Wilton always has a good team and it is a tough place to wrestle. Right now we are concentrating on (today). No matter what happens, on Wednesday we will start preparing for districts. We are taking it one step at a time right now.

 We certainly wanted the pack to stay together. We wanted Heather to go for it. We thought she could stay with Kerri. We wanted our (second and third) girls to stay in front of Wilton's No. 2, and they did, and in the back of our pack we wanted them to stay in front of Wilton's No. 4, and they did. It was a real team effort. We put five in the top 10.

 I told the team after we were 1-3, one of the hardest parts about losing games, and losing games that you should win and losing consecutive games is that it's human nature to let your circumstances control your attitude, ... And we had to reverse that. We had to flip that, and they did a good job with that. We worked hard on that, and that was the difference. No one in our building thought that we were a 1-4 team.

 We led wire-to-wire, but it came down to the end and we got the last shot. To give credit, Chehalis is a physical basketball team. There was a lot of banging and pushing. We held our own, but it was not an easy night to do that.

 Last week, we didn't really care what anybody said about us, ... We don't really care this week. We know what we have to do this week to keep it going. What we care about is winning and losing, and staying together as a team, and trying to play the kind of sound, solid, tough, aggressive football that we like to think is our trademark.

 That means a lot to lead wire-to-wire, which I've never done before. There's a special satisfaction in the heat of battle when guys are coming after you and you still hit good shots.

 We have had problems playing teams that don't have good records. This is the first time this year we have led wire to wire. One of our goals was to run and if we didn't have anything, to set it up in the half court.

 This is a good opportunity for us this week to go up against another good team, a very hot team, and continue to get ourselves ready for the following week's game, whoever that might be against. We're going to approach this as a normal week.
